DescriptionMy psychotherapy practice is called Humboldt Counseling. My office is in Eureka in the Myrtletown area. I do psychotherapy with individuals, couples, groups, and families. I also teach workshops, mainly dealing with relationships and emotions.

In general, I believe that diagnoses are labels that do more harm than good. I help my clients discover what is good and healthy about themselves. I believe that balance is a beneficial and realistic goal, in life and in therapy.

I work on a sliding fee scale and I have office hours during the day, evenings, and some weekends.

My website contains more information about Humboldt Counseling as well as a number of useful articles about relationship, emotions, the mind, etc.:
